North Norfolk Labour Party

Across North Norfolk, residents are returning to Labour. Voters who feel let down by the Lib Dems, and are fed up of the Conservatives. Since the General Election our membership has trebled. Sign up to become a member from just £2, and become a part of Jeremy Corbyn's new politics.

“Heinz is a big employer here in North Walsham and to lose the factory would be so devastating for the families of the 200 people they currently employ, especially so close to Christmas.

It would also have a knock-on effect on the local community and that is why we have set up this petition for residents to support the workers in their fight to get Heinz to reconsider.

Heinz have not yet ruled anything out but we want to keep the pressure on them to ensure that they keep to their word and explore all of the options on the table.

We will be running the petition online and we will also take it on to the streets too.”

David Spencer, one of the campaigners petitioning this morning, said:

“To lose the North Walsham factory would be another employment blow for North Walsham so we must fight hard to keep it open. We do not want to see more loyal workers lose their jobs in the town, or to lose a big name employer in the local area.”
